Disclosed embodiments include systems, devices, and methods for automotive seats for a vehicle, and seating arrangements within a vehicle. Disclosed embodiments include systems, devices, and methods for moving a vehicle seat between a first driving position and a second access position and moving the vehicle seat between the second access position and the first driving position. The driving position may be in the center of the vehicle and the access positions may be on either side of a vehicle. Disclosed embodiments include systems, devices, and methods for modular automotive seat assemblies comprising interchangeable portions in order to replace worn-out or damaged parts, or to change seat styles and configurations. Disclosed embodiments include systems, devices, and methods for automotive seating arrangements that allow for better line-of-sight for passengers.

A vehicle seat may have a seat part which can be moved from a usage position into a non-usage position, a seat back, a base, and a seat kinematics connecting the seat part pivotably to the base. The seat kinematics may have a rocker which by a first rotary joint is deflected pivotably on an adapter connected to the base and by a second rotary joint is deflected pivotably on the seat part. A spacing between the base and the seat part can be changed by selection of a first articulation point for articulation of the first pivot joint on the adapter fixedly connected to the base, and/or by selection of a second articulation point for articulation of the second pivot joint on the seat part. A method for assembling such a vehicle seat is also provided.
